I'm a very loyal, straightforward person and I'm not afraid to speak my mind. I can be sarcastic at times but I always mean well.

I love to be active, whether it's going for a hike, joining a sports team or taking a jog around the block. Running a marathon is something I want to do in the next year or two, although that's on hold right now because I'm rehabbing from a knee injury.

I'm always up for a challenge, whether it's mental or physical, and I'm always open to new things -- I'll try anything once.

What I’m doing with my life

I recently moved from Phoenix to New Haven to further my career. So far, I love my job.

I’m really good at

Writing, Scrabble, poker. I was a professional poker player for a little while right out of college, but then I decided to grow up and get a real job.

The first things people usually notice about me

My smile and my self-confidence.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends. Doesn't matter where, as long as I'm with good people.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I'm an open book, but not a fan of posting it on the internet. I guess you could ask me about my first time waterskiing.
